AC Control Unit Question

[GMAN]

I switched my AC control unit to one out of a Gen II. I noticed that OFF dosen't display. Is this how this is supposed to be?

 

[JC1994]

I didn't think that gen 2's will work in a gen 1.

 

[GMAN]

It is working just fine.

 

[94m5]

my 98 does'nt display "OFF", and I have a gen2 unit in the 94, and the 95. I can't remember what they say tho.

 

[Frogman]

Mine don't say anything when it's off.

 

[Frat-man-du]

My 98 is just blank when cycled off.

The new '96 EATC in my '93 says "OFF" when cycled off. I wish it would show outside temp when off.

Are crazy AC Control Units a common problem with Mark VIIIs?

My A/C will be working fine, then I'll hit a bump, and it will shut off. Oh, and my heat doesn't work. The blower works fine, but the air is cold. I'm guessing that may be the dreaded mixture door, but who knows... I live in Phoenix, so I just went through the whole winter and didn't bother fixing it.

Both of those issues have been address numerous times. For the first, there is a fix for that. Just check this link. The second problem of no heat, that is just the blend door actuator behind the dash. Do a search on blend door.

Dude, the '96 EATC works just like the '93-'95 and looks just like the '97-'98.

Nothing is really a challenge compared to what my Mustang has put me through. Not even close.
